Walkthrough

The udev network interface naming rules for the NanoPi R6S board have been updated. The mapping between kernel device identifiers and interface names was changed: the interface previously named "wan1" is now "lan2", "lan1" is now "wan", and "lan2" is now "lan1". The kernel identifiers associated with each interface name were adjusted accordingly. No other aspects of the configuration, such as subsystem, action, or driver match conditions, were modified.

Learning: When reviewing PRs in the Armbian build system, U-Boot defconfig files and patches may be added as part of the PR changes but might not be visible in the current repository clone state during review. It's important to check the actual PR file changes directly via GitHub API (https://api.github.com/repos/armbian/build/pulls/{pr_number}/files) to get the complete picture of what files are being added or modified, especially for U-Boot patches that will be applied during the build process.

Learning: In the Armbian build system, when a PR removes build support for a specific kernel version, version check issues for that removed version become practically irrelevant even if they appear incorrect in isolation. Context about which kernel versions are being deprecated/removed is important for understanding the impact of version-related code changes.

Learning: For ARM-based devices like Helios4 that use DeviceTree, the expected systemd network interface naming scheme is "end[0-9]+" (DeviceTree alias index), making the regex "^(eth|en[do])[0-9]+" appropriate as it covers traditional "eth", PCI on-board "eno", and DeviceTree "end" interfaces without unnecessary "enp" (PCI slot) support.

Learning: In the Armbian build system, for recurring maintenance tasks like kernel version bumping, TODO comments should use generic version formats (e.g., "MAJOR.MINOR-rc1") rather than specific version numbers (e.g., "6.17-rc1") to avoid the need for frequent comment updates that would create unnecessary maintenance overhead.

Learning: For the Armbian build project, maintaining consistency with existing patches across U-Boot versions (such as between 2025.01 and 2025.04) is prioritized over refactoring individual patches for code improvements.

Learning: The "end" interface naming scheme is valid on some systems, as demonstrated by the Helios4 system where "end1" is a working network interface that supports Wake-on-LAN functionality.

Learning: When implementing systemd services that need to iterate over network interfaces, the pattern `/bin/ls -1 /sys/class/net/ | /bin/grep -E "^(eth|en[do])[0-9]+" | /bin/xargs -n1 -I{} /sbin/ethtool -s "{}" wol g` is more robust than using shell variables, as it avoids systemd variable resolution issues that can cause service failures.

Learning: In Armbian board configuration files (.csc), the standard pattern is to have only one line as a comment describing the board hardware specifications. This single-line description typically includes the SoC model, core count, RAM options, and key features like connectivity options, storage interfaces, and special features.

Timestamp: 2025-07-17T04:12:33.125Z
Learning: In the Armbian build system, board configuration files (*.conf) follow a project standard of not including shebang lines, even though they contain bash code and are sourced by the build system. This is an established Armbian convention that individual contributors are expected to follow, and changes to this standard would require broader project maintainer approval.

Learning: The shell scripts in the Armbian build system's desktop configuration files, such as config/desktop/trixie/environments/gnome/armbian/create_desktop_package.sh, rely on environment variables like $SRC and $destination that are expected to be set externally before the script is executed.

31-33: LGTM! Network interface mapping is logical and correctly implemented.

The udev rules properly map the network interfaces for a router device:

  • Built-in ethernet (fe1c0000.ethernet) → lan2
  • PCIe slot 1 (0003:31:00.0) → wan (appropriate for internet connection)
  • PCIe slot 2 (0004:41:00.0) → lan1

The udev rule syntax is correct and follows proper conventions for network interface naming.
